CW: 156.5 PW: 158.5 My week is going well. I’m staying focused on my timeframes for eating and have reduced cardio to a minimum to favor HIIT instead. I’m liking the results so far!

Love the idea of a happy dance workout and I will check that out too! I started telling myself a few months ago that I needed to dance just a little everyday. I sneak it in usually when no one is around and sometimes at dinner. It does create a little burst of energy. I think I will just go do some more of that now... !

PW: 159.0 CW: 158.4 This is an average for the week that I am going to try to use to be more stable. I'm not sure who else does that but my weight this week has fluctuated from 159.0 to 156.4. My weight this morning on the scale was 156.4lbs! Which is the lowest I have seen it in years - so YEAH! To get a good idea of…

@jugar good luck with the surgery and here’s hoping for a quick recovery! My week has been full of IKEA furniture building and snacking and walks in the cold. Not the greatest for me. I would love to be anywhere warm right now!

Thanks for the energy and “kick” @jugar and @kali225! @conleywoods great dress and I love the hair! My weekend has been pretty slow so far. I forgot all about the Super Bowl... I’m wanting to get in a hike this morning in the quiet. So I am off to get started!

CW: 159.0 PW: 158.4 I’m ok with this weeks result. I’ve been a little down this week and up again so it will settle out. I’ve been in peri menopause for awhile and got my period the first in six months (exciting but then not really) it’s pretty amazing what our bodies go through! @jugar congrats on getting the call from…

@mbakhtiaruz it’s sounds like a tough time. It’s good to see you post here there’s a lot of us to cheer you on! 🌸💐🌺 I hope today is better

Checking in early on my Tuesday am. Congrats to everyone who reached a goal or milestone! Its great to see familiar friends names on that list!!

Hello everyone, my name is Stephanie. I currently live in Luxembourg but am from the US (Oklahoma). I have been with this group since 2019, when we moved overseas for my husband’s work. I am married with three kids, my oldest is living in the US and the other two (11 & 13) are here in Luxembourg. It is interesting to get…

PW: 159.4 CW: 158.4 I’m excited how this is going for now. For most of January I have been watching my macros and trying to have less than 100 carbs daily. It’s had a positive effect on my diet and reduced my cravings. In February I am going to work on consistency in my sleep routine.

@micki48 thanks for sharing your story about motivation. I wanted to let you know that your calendar really helped me last year. In 2020, I used it for calories. While I wasn’t always within my goal. This calendar helped remind me that my daily efforts contribute to my overall health. In 2021 I’m using it for intentional…

@jugar my highest weight I think was 182lbs. This was in 2019 before my move to Europe. I didn’t realize that I was heavier then even when I was pregnant with my third child in 2009. I don’t like looking at those photos for a few reasons. I’m happy to be on this journey with you all and feeling better about photos!

PW 160.? CW 159.4 I'm happy to see my weight start to go down this month. I'm wanting to feel good in my own body and looking for positive ways to do that regardless of the scale.

@conleywoods Thanks for sharing your pictures and story. You look beautiful! I love how in the newer photo you are looking right at us and owning it! Like to say "I changed my story and you can too". Keep after it and you will see more progress both inside and out.

I just got home from a long walk with a friend. Its so nice to be outside and in good company. I should make it a point to do this more often!! @conleywoods re: snacking. When I want a snack I go through these 3 questions... 1. Am I being influenced by whatever I am doing (TV) or who I am with... 2. Consider if what I need…

@jugar - Happy (late) Birthday - even without cake it sounds like you had a great time! Maybe the snow was an extra present just for you! I am going to check out the books you recommended nice to have a little bounce in your steps! @conleywoods I love those cards - they look very encouraging! @Gidgitgoescrazy - good job on…

Coming into a really slow week here. It’s cold and icy outside so running is out of the question. It’s interesting with working out at home that I can do it anytime and so that means that I tend to do it less often... Good to read everyone’s post. They are encouraging to get me moving!

PW: 161.4 CW: 160.2 Yeah! I have been maintaining my focus on eating real food and having a dry January. All's good for now. I have few cravings with the exception of coffee, but I think that's because its cold here. Like to see the this progress finally. One thing that I have noticed is my heart rate is rather lower than…

I haven’t posted for awhile but just caught up on reading and wow lots of inspiration here! So glad to be with this group!

PW: 163.4? CW: 161.4 I’ve been fasting and reducing carbs this week. Also no alcoholic drinks for all of January. Looks like my body likes the focus.

Its great to see all the new faces and hear the energy in the posts! Yeah! Here's my intro for this month - I'm Stephanie. Originally from Oklahoma but living in Luxembourg for the next few years due to my husbands work. We have three kids, two here and my oldest son is in the US. I am not working here and its driving me a…

@micki48 I hope you had fun kicking that bag out the door!!

Last weigh in of 2020: PW: 161.6 CW: 162.0 Not too bad for Christmas and New Years! @jugar could you make a change for me as we go into 2021? I need to correct my CW to 163.6lbs. I bought my husband a really great scale that measures weight, BMI, body fat, visceral fat.... and my weight on that scale is 163.6lbs... It…

Today, I am looking over all my notes for 2020 and realize just how many things I accomplished this year. From learning to speak French, traveling more than expected, making crochet blankets, running more than 400 miles, hiking with friends, losing a few pounds... It is inspiring to see the results! Coronavirus can stick…

Merry Christmas everyone! I haven’t been too strict, enjoying myself somewhat responsibly and that’s good by me. PW: 161.6 CW: 162.5

@YinxFed thanks for sharing your story of holiday romance and cheer!

I can’t say it feels like Christmas for me, even when my decor is up, songs were played all day yesterday, Christmas wine is flowing, the presents are wrapped... I might need to drag out the Christmas sweater. @micki48 so sorry to hear about your SIL. Hope everyone is feeling alright and will be praying for your family.

My O My!!! @conleywoods that gingerbread house party looks like a great time! What a great memory for your family!

@yinxfed glad to hear your doggy is doing better and hope you enjoyed the day with your Mom ♥️ @micki48 I love the gingerbread house! Such a fun activity and tempting to not eat all the candies! Can’t wait to see the pictures from @conleywoods !

I feel like I’ve been on track for the first time in a long while. It’s a little present for myself 🎁 PW: 164 CW: 161.6
